Request for @Dragonqueen1215

    "Buddy! Please chill.." Your Dragonite was just as competitive as ever, yet again throwing another hissy fit once Piers's Obstagoon beat him again. Your Dragonite was originally from Unova. Given to you by a rescuer. He was found as a dragonaire, and showed signs of physical abuse, yet despite that he still seemed so excited for you to be his trainer. Piers hummed and petted obstagoon, giving him a little treat as he yipped with delight. Dragonite huffed, yet again barking at Obstagoon for a rematch but you hushed him, making him go quiet as you patted his back. "Th-Thanks again Piers. I'm sorry that Dragonite seems to want to fight all the time, he's just-.." "A little competitive." He smiled and returned Obstagoon, putting his hands in his pockets and walking up to you. "There's no need to apologize, Y/N. We have to remember that every pokemon is unique, and we're always gonna have the competitive ones." Piers added, glancing at Dragonite as he huffed, looking away from the gothic man. You smiled slightly. "Y-Yeah.." Piers was always really knowledgeable and passionate about pokemon, even if is demeanor and tone didn't really show it. For some reason though, you could sort of tell whenever he meant something in a different way. Piers then smiled and patted your head. "Now..how about we head back to my place. It's getting chilly this time of year, and it's already cold enough being this close to Chirchester." You giggled and nodded before taking his hand, making Dragonite huff in jealousy. He simply rolled his eyes and followed behind you and Piers, his tail swishing from side to side with every step he took. "Hey Piers..." Piers hummed, glancing at you once you said his name. You looked up at him. "How come you stopped being a gym leader?" You asked, cocking your head at the taller, gaunt man. He blinked at you. A bit of an out of the blue question, but he did not question you. He knew lots of people were confused about him stopping being a gym leader anymore, and he got questions about it all the time but he never really answered them, like usual. But with you...Piers was more open. He figured, to hell with it. He could tell you. "Well..I mostly became a gym leader so I could help me and my sister get on our feet again after-..." he looked down a little. You knew what he was going to say..he didn't need to tell you. You nodded. "I-I see..." he then looked up a bit, seeing the entrance of Spikemuth. "So once I found out Marnie didn't become the champion like she wanted...I really wanted to make her feel better about losing. I thought she wouldn't want to be a gym leader so I expected her to say no...but she seemed motivated from how much we cheered for her that..she wanted to make me proud." He held onto your hand slightly tighter as you smiled. "Aww! Thats really sweet!" Once you made it to Piers's house, he let you and your Dragonite inside as he huffed. Piers huffed right back. "I know I know just get in.." he said, letting the giant dragon inside.
        You flopped down onto the couch, the blankets poofing upwards. Piers's couch was pretty comfy. He didn't have much as he preferred to be more modest with the stuff he kept in his house, besides the posters of his favorite artists and bands. Those were everywhere, though Piers didn't want his house to be too gaudy. He liked it just the way it was. He walked over and sat on the couch with you, putting an arm over your shoulder and sighing. You smiled at him warmly and leaned your head against him before you felt a heavy huff against your face. You looked to the side, seeing your Dragonite in front of you, a demanding look in his eyes as he sat down with a thud. You raised a brow at him. "Dragonite...are you really that jealous of Piers?" He tipped his nose up at you with an angry huff, before laying his head down on your lap. You grunted a bit as it was kind of heavy, but you sighed and smiled, placing a hand on his head. "Oh alright..." he seemed to smile a little bit, feeling better after you began petting him. Piers raised a brow at the dragon type before humming and leaning his head against yours, making you look up at him. "Mm...just tired." He mumbled, stroking your shoulder with his thumb gently. You smiled and leaned your head into him again, Dragonite being thoroughly distracted by you petting him. You smiled. "Tired~?" You asked as Piers nodded slowly. Honestly with those bags under his eyes he always looked tired..sometimes you wondered if he was just always tired, and if he was getting enough sleep, though he seemed to dismiss it every time you asked. Surely, it was okay though...you could tell when he smiled, he wasn't lying. His smiles always were so real to you. He barely ever smiled at anyone else, but whenever it was just you and him alone, it's like he just...brightened up like never before in his life. Dragonite purred quietly before he had fallen asleep, his head feeling heavy on your lap, while you also felt Piers's head become heavy against yours. You glanced up at him before blinking a little, yawning yourself. Mm...being around your favorite person and favorite pokemon really did make you tired...especially when it was just a calm moment like this, hanging out in a warm house with blankets on a couch. With your boyfriend and your pokemon both asleep against you, truly it did make you feel very calm, tiring you slowly as you yawned and leaned against Piers once again, closing your eyes. Mm...just a little nap...a little nap...wouldn't... "Nn...Y/N...I love you..." Piers mumbled as you smiled slightly, looking up at him a tiny bit. "I love you too..." you whispered before yawning and leaning against him fully, closing your eyes and slowly falling to sleep.
